The recent regulation process of financial products in Israel will be discussed and debated at our conference in Tel Aviv.

How will the Israeli trading industry react to the licensing process which is expected to be concluded in the coming months, and what are the main challenges that brokers are facing during the interim period? At the Finance Magnates TLV Conference, noted industry figures will try to answer these dramatic questions.

Two key speakers who have already secured their participation in this panel are Mr Yossi Beinart, CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and veteran of the trading industry, and Mr. Tzah Druker, the Head of the Israeli Trading Arena Association. These individuals will bring the industry’s point of view to the discussion.

Finance Magnates has been continually covering the licensing process with exclusive stories, for example the one posted last week that shed light on some aspects of the ongoing discussions between the trading industry and the Israeli Securities Authority (ISA). Of the 21 Israeli brokers who submitted to the ISA for a license on May 2015, about 15 are left in the race, while others have redrawn their requests.
